As of April, the California Secretary of State reported that 26,948,297 Californians were registered to vote, which accounts for almost 82 percent of the state's eligible voting population.

Not surprisingly, there are far more registered Democrats than Republicans in the state, with 46.75 percent for the former and 23.92 percent for the latter. GOP registration in the state has been dropping steadily, a trend that shows no sign of slowing down even as Republican registration climbed at the national level over the last year.

Voter turnout is not expected to be as high this primary season, especially without highly competitive statewide races.

Candidates vying for Contra Costa County District Attorney:

• Diana Becton
• Mary Knox

For Contra Costa County sheriff/coroner:

• David Livingston
• Benjamin Therriault
